Question is what do they do with rest of your ashes?

Burials in different places is an option. Do you want to be buried in the town you lived in longest? Happiest? Want to be buried next to your first wife? All of them? Maybe in all the places you missed from your bucket list?

The hydrogen balloon is probably affordable but not permanent. Achieving escape velocity from the earth takes a lot of energy. Achieving escape velocity from the sun takes more. Unless you escape from the sun your journey will end in a few billion years when the sun explodes. Getting to interstellar space will give you a longer ride.

SpaceX doesn’t have a perfect record. If their rocket blows up do you get a refund?

My dad’s ashes were spread in a field on the farm and mom’s around her goat barn where she spent so much time. Seemed appropriate to us.

If there is a way to make a buck, and someone fool enough to spend a buck, there will be a way for those two to get together!

I plan on donating my body to University of Hawaii's John Burns Medical Department to allow upcoming doctors to see what a male body looks like when cut apart. It will cost about $3000 to ship from Maui.
